How Well Can You Get to Know a Person Through Their Blog?

I have now realized that reading a person’s blog on a regular basis can give one very deep insights into the author’s personality. Here is an example.

A reader of this blog traveled to a far-away country and, being an exceptionally kind and generous person, got me a gift. This gift turned out to be a beautiful scarf.

What this reader cannot possibly know (because they never met me) is that I adore scarves and shawls. I have a collection of them and special hangers to house all of them. What’s more, I’ve spent years telling everybody in sight how much I want a scarf precisely from the far-away country where this reader got me the scarf.

I just did a search of my blog and there is nothing about my scarf collection on it. So this was pure inspiration on the reader’s part.

You’ll say this is a coincidence but I think this is more than that. Careful readers perceive hidden qualities of my personality from my writing.

Thank you, dear reader! I totally dig this gift.

  1. Indeed, the internet is a very strange place – blogs, in particular are curious. When we write posts, we share a little bit about ourselves, every time. Blogs I read that I actually interact on, I feel like I am almost friends with the person who writes it. Even though we have never met in real life, and likely never will. It is very strange. Amazing how the internet can connect people, isn’t it?

    Also, I hope you put up a picture of you with that fantastic scarf. 🙂
